Mara Explorer Camp

Mara Explorer Camp is situated on a broad thickly forest bend of the Talek River in the middle of the Maasai Mara National Reserve. Mara Explorer has its own all-weather airstrip.  The superb setting and location of the camp makes for a wonderful game-watching experience, including from the comfort of your bed, bath or verandah.

The tents have been specially designed to open up to the sky and, on a deck on one side, a Victorian claws-foot bathtub offers secluded open-air bathing – and a unique new perspective of the African bush.

This luxurious tented camp is found at the meeting point of the reserve’s four major-viewing areas and enjoys prime views of the striking wildebeest movement between June and September. During the rest of the year, herds of watering elephants, giraffe and other animals, can be seen many times from your private verandah. Mara Explorer’s has own all-weatner airstrip, meaning you can be in camp not more than an hour after leaving the bustle of Nairobi. The route from the Nairobi City through the Great Rift Valley  offers a scenic ride of just less five hours.

Accommodation and Meals 

Mara Explorer exclusive five-star camp offers 10 luxurious and well-spaced tents, each with its own private river frontage and views over the River Talek’s wildlife-rich southern banks. Seven of the tents have queen size beds, while three have twin beds.

An intimate canvas covered dining area looks out over the river close to the camp entrance. Meals are served from own kitchens, using fresh vegetables and herbs grown in the camp gardens.
